GRAIN SHIPMENT

Restrictions Planned in Order to Prevent ingestion in Marketing Great Crop. WASHINGTON, May 27. Permits for the shipment of grain from Interior markets will bo used by the railroad administration this year to control the movement of the mammoth harvest which la Just beginning. Problems involved In the movement of 1.200.000,000 bushels of wheat, the yield estimated by the department of agriculture,- have been under consideration for weeks by Director General Hines. It was apparent that unless some method of restriction was devised, congestion which might paralyze the natlon'B transportation facilljties was possible when the farmers, eager to market their wheat as quickly as possible under the standard price guarantee, began to pour the crop into the arteries of, trade. After consultation with leading .grain - men In the west and officials of the food administration's grain corporation, the director general decided that a permit system

similar to that in effect during the freight congestion of last year would be the best solution of the problem. Machinery for the operation of the

fcysiem now is oeing worKea out at the railroad administration. Grain control committees will be constituted at each market and perhaps shipping zones established. 11 that Is found necessary. Although the harvest already has started on the southern edge of tne wheat belt, the system will not be needed or put Into use until threshing begins late next month In the middle west.

Europe's mass attack to win first nonors in the International 500-mile Liberty Sweepstakes on the Indiana polls motor speedway. May 31st, , will encounter a . barrage of fierce opposition . from the- popping" exhausts of the Duesenberg team, - composed of Eddie O'Donnell. , Wilbur. De Alene, Tommy Milton, and Dave .Lewis, defenders of the Stars and Stripes in the coming contest. The Duesenberg quartet, one for all and all for one, goes to the post with what is commonly called a percentage In Its favor, meaning that a combination of four drivers can take chances that would be suicidal for an individual racing unattached. During the Indianapolis 600-mlle grind, each member of the Duesenberg team has pledged himself to send his mount, through the entire race at . top speed, rguring that this is tbe only way -to win. One or two may break ui as a result of the dizzy

pace, possibly three, but according to the law of averages at least one ought to go through unscathed, and in that event , find himself - heading the procession. . All of the members of the Duesenberg team are . skilled and experienced helmsmen, "graduates of the dirt track, whose schooling is Invaluable on the Indianapolis speedway, with Its 'short, flat turns.- In cuttteg the corners these lads are expected to show their rivals from . overseas several things that will amaze them, and In' this way more than offset the superior speed on the straightaway the Europeans are reputed to possess. Superior driving ability against superior speed, this is what the Duesenberg team will throw into the scales of fortune that will determine the winner of the big Indianapolis race, with the percentage, according to past performance, in fator of the better driving.
